Jesus died for everyone and He was raised to live and to give us life.
耶穌為世人捨命、復活，並且賜給人生命

14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

He became sin for us, so that He could take our punishment for us and we could instead be made righteous in God’s eyes.
他為我們擔當一切的罪與刑罰，使我們得以在神眼中看為無罪。

19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them.

21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

19就是 神在基督裡使世人與他自己和好，不再追究他們的過犯， 21 神使那無罪的替我們成為有罪的，使我們在他裡面成為神的義。

2. Reconciled People Have Been Changed And Have Been Given An Important Task與神和好的人，生命已得著改變並且被賜予一個重要的任務

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

17如果有人在基督裡，他就是新造的人，舊事已經過去，你看，都變成新的了！

Our reason for living has changed
我們活著的目的已經改變了

15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

15他替眾人死了，為的是要使活著的人不再為自己活著，卻為那替他們死而復活的主而活。

Our way of thinking has changed
我們思考的方式已改變了

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

16所以，從今以後，我們不再按照人的看法認識人；雖然我們曾經按照人的看法認識基督，但現在不再這樣了。

Our tasks are very clear and very urgent.
我們的工作十分清楚且急迫

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:19 And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
